CONSULTENOS

From the Desk of Patrick Pruett   Dear EW Member,  This is issue No. 9/09 of our monthly, direct e-mail messages to partners and staff of our member firms.    Enterprise Worldwide Firms.... Simply the Best Every year Enterprise Worldwide firms have been benchmarked against hundreds of the best firms in the accounting industry and each year the results have shown that you are the best run firms around. Over the last 4 years the surveys have shown the average of Enterprise Worldwide firms to have better staff retention, higher growth rates, and higher Partner incomes than the average of all other firms. This year's survey from Inside Public Accounting continues to affirm your 'best of class' status as Enterprise Worldwide had five firms listed among the fastest growing firms in the nation, and this makes Enterprise Worldwide number one association in our market and number two among all accounting associations.  The ranking of the top associations in the survey is as follows: Leading Edge Alliance (8 firms) Enterprise Worldwide (5 firms) DFK Int'l (3 firms) MGI World (3 firms) Moore Stephens (3 firms) AGN Int'l (2 firms) Baker Tilly (2 firms) BDO Seidman Alliance (2 firms) CPA Associates (2 firms) CPAmerica (2 firms) Nexia (2 firms) RSM McGladry Network (2 firms) BKR Int'l, CPAconnect, HLB, JHI, Kreston, and TIAG each had 1 firm on the list Remember, these resources of Enterprise Worldwide are an extension of your firm and by accessing this abundance of talent, you can multiply your ability to serve clients by 5, 10, even 15 times what you can provide by operating alone.  Get to know your fellow members by attending a meeting, accessing the Member Consulting Networks, connecting on conference calls, being on a planning committee, and getting connected to the services and people that will have an impact on how you run your firm.
